The Ghastly Disastrous Stranger
Digital evangelists around the world extensively wrote about the fourth industrial revolution during the last decade, some of which have been captured in previous nine such columns. This revolution started with cerebral applications of digital solutions for problems of a common man coupled with new business and revenue models for commercial enterprises.

The journey of many technology players blissfully moved ahead from a startup to a ‘soonicorn’ to a unicorn. When the fourth industrial revolution was about to take-off for its second orbital change with a quantum leap, came the disastrous and gutsy stranger called Covid-19 virus. The virus inflicted unprecedented pandemic with an overwhelming speed. It proved to be such tempestuously contagious that people across the world could not participate in economic activities for weeks and months. Epidemiologists suggested social distancing as the only solution till the vaccine is discovered and medicines are convincingly established for treatment.

Covid-19 virus has caused the cruellest humanitarian crisis in the history of mankind, the domino effect of which has already caused much harsher and perilous economic fallouts. Every single nation’s economy has been pushed back and down. The devastation is such unprecedentedly ominous that most affected are the developed countries, and not even a single country has been spared. However, this fear psychosis may not end even after winning over this virus. Scary narratives are deluging cyberspace about more such virus attacks.
